Ron Klain, the former chief of staff to two vice presidents who has been tapped as the Obama administration's "Ebola czar," will begin his new duties Wednesday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said.

SPAIN: NURSE'S AIDE FREE OF EBOLA

Amber Vinson Contacts:

Vinson officially began showing symptoms on Tuesday, October 14, 2014, but new reports bring that day into question. A CDC source said Vinson began feeling “funny” on Sunday, October 12, 2014.

If the October 14th day is accurate, the 21-day monitoring period will end Tuesday, November 4, 2014 for those that had contact with Vinson.

From the Pentagon – An active duty U.S. Marine has placed himself in voluntary quarantine in Texas after learning he was on the Frontier Airlines Flight from Cleveland to Dallas with nurse Amber Vinson. The Marines are not naming the man due to privacy concerns, but this is believed to be the first military service member directly impacted by the Ebola crisis.
